Install Phalcon with Vagrant/Puppet (git command not found)

Question

I've succesfully setup a Vagrant/Puppet configuration to install a basic hashicorp/precise64 server with nginx, mysql, php5-fpm, etc. The server starts and I can use PHP without any problem (the webpage is reachable).

Phalcon gives me some problems however. I created a simple shell script (say install.sh) with the following content:

#!/bin/sh
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon.git
cd cphalcon/build
./install
wait
service php5-fpm restart
service nginx restart

This shell script is copied to the root of the linux server and should then be executed with the following Puppet command:

exec { '/install_phalcon.sh':
require => File['/install_phalcon.sh'],
cwd => '/',
path => '/',
}

It starts executing the shell script, but it than gives errors like "git command not found". I've seen this before with commands like "cp" and "ln".

When you login the vagrant VM, use "sudo su" and then execute the shell script, all goes well.

Am I doing something wrong, is this a rights issue? And how to solve it in Vagrant/Puppet?

Thank you!

I can share my vagrant and install file. I use Phalcon with Ubuntu. It works w/o any problems on Mac, Windows and Ubuntu machines.

Vagrantfile file (name of the file is just "Vagrantfile")

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

# Vagrantfile API/syntax version. Don't touch unless you know what you're doing!
VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|

  # Base Box
  # --------------------
  config.vm.box = "precise32"
  config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box"

  # Connect to IP
  # --------------------
  config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.5.0"

  # Forward to Port
  # --------------------
  #config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 80, host: 8080

  # Optional (Remove if desired)
  config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |v|
    # How much RAM to give the VM (in MB)
    # -----------------------------------
    v.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "700"]

    # Uncomment the Bottom two lines to enable muli-core in the VM
    #v.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--cpus", "2"]
    #v.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--ioapic", "on"]
  end

  # Provisioning Script
  # --------------------
  config.vm.provision "shell", path: "init.sh"

  # Synced Folder
  # --------------------
  config.vm.synced_folder "./", "/var/www/", :mount_options => [ "dmode=775", "fmode=644" ], :owner => 'www-data', :group => 'www-data'

end

and the installation file (name of the file is "init.sh"):

#!/bin/bash

Answer 2

Your exec resource uses a $PATH value of /. This is a Very Bad Idea.

Many executables and virtually all shell scripts must rely on core utilities found in /bin, some in /usr/bin. For non-root commands, /bin:/usr/bin is usually a safe choice for the search path, and some scripts for the root user might rely on /sbin:/usr/sbin as well.

Try

exec { '/install_phalcon.sh':
    require => File['/install_phalcon.sh'],
    cwd => '/',
    path => [ '/bin', '/usr/bin' ],
}
